˜One of every five adult women and one out of every 10 adult men say they were molested as children. This means that there are an estimated 40 million adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States alone! It is time to put a stop to this crime and protect all our children. To effectively prevent child sexual abuse, adults must first learn some important facts about child abuse.

The St. Augustine/St. Joseph Religious Education Program along with the Virtus Protecting God’s Children® Program will present these facts for parents/grandparents/custodial guardians on Wednesday, June 5 at 7:00 pm in the St. Augustine/St. Joseph Parish Center, Minster Oh in room 204. If you have any questions about the program, contact Jane Boeke at 419/628-3434 or augreled@staugie.com.
